Getting
cheap ATV tires can be hard if you are not prepared to spend
quite a bit of money or to sacrifice quality. As you
probably already know, owning and maintaining an ATV is an
expensive hobby. This price is multiplied twenty times
if you make ATVs your profession. Like owning any
vehicle though, ATVs and their tires require maintenance and
maintenance costs. Your decisions and expenses will be
determined by the use of your ATV.

Before you
begin shopping for cheap ATV tires it is important to
understand that there are more than a hundred different
varieties and brands. Most people who spend a lot of
time with their ATVs know the brands they like to deal with
best. Others who are just beginning should know that
for the basic rider, an all-purpose tire will suit most
needs. All-purpose tires are made with deep tread to
provide stability and are made from a hard rubber that will
no wear as easily as other tires. Keep in mind that
this is for the basic rider, those who take it out as a
hobby; not the daily or specialized rider.

When you
understand the type of riding you are doing it is easier to
get more specific. Like riders who will be riding
exclusively in the mud, they look for tires specific to mud
travel. Mud tires are quite different from the basic
all-purpose tire in that they have large rubber treads so
they do not lose traction on slippery surfaces. In
theory it sounds impossible to gain traction in mud, but
some cheap ATV tires made for mud are made to scrape the
bottom of a pool of water. Others are make to be like
paddles so the driver can skim over puddles. The
paddle-like tires are more expensive and are made only for
that specific event. Also, mud tires on not quite as
fast as other types of tires. If you are a racer then you
know that cheap ATV tires are hardly cheap and are quite
specific depending on the type of event or speeds your ATV
needs to reach.

Remember
that the best place to begin shopping for cheap ATV tires is
by consulting your owner's manual to see the tire
specifications. Many will go into deep detail,
depending on the manufacturer. Then when you are
ready, visit stores like Cabela or local motorsport
stores. If you shop on line check out MotorSport (dot
com) and Amazon. Some people like to shop eBay for
their tires.
